A SPECIFIC QUALITATIVE COLOR TEST FOR KETOHEXOSES

Designing a specific upper body anaerobic power test for wrestling

Abstract The aim of this study was designing a specific upper body anaerobic power test for wrestlers and determining validity, reliability and objectivity of the designed test. In order to assess the anaerobic power of wrestlers on the basis of upper body Wingate test, Twenty two wrestlers (age=23/40±3/20 year, height=173/13±6/97 cm, weight=74/55±3/88 kg) of Tehran wrestling team (most of the...

What influences men's decision to have a prostate-specific antigen test? A qualitative study.

BACKGROUND Current UK policy recommends informed decision making for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. The process by which men decide to be tested warrants further investigation. OBJECTIVE To determine the important influences on men's decision to have a PSA test. METHODS Semi-structured interviews with 20 men who had raised the issue of testing for prostate cancer with their GP and...

Expansion of a highly sensitive and specific ELISA test for diagnosis of hydatidosis using recombinant EgB8/2 protein

Objective(s): Hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection and endemic in Iran. Due to the serological cross-reactivity (of sera) with other parasitic infection, diagnosis of hydatid cyst is considered to be problematic. In this regard, application of recombinant antigens improves serological diagnosis for human hydatidosis. Here, we present an ELISA test based on B8/2 recombinant antigen of Echinococcu...

Modified Sickledex tube test: a specific test for S hemoglobin.

A highly specific test for periodicity.

We present a method that allows to distinguish between nearly periodic and strictly periodic time series. To this purpose, we employ a conservative criterion for periodicity, namely, that the time series can be interpolated by a periodic function whose local extrema are also present in the time series. Our method is intended for the analysis of time series generated by deterministic time-contin...
